CocktailsandMovies.com Whaddya Got On Tap? – Week of 12/15/17

by Tim Barley & Duwayne Tso

Jedis and Bulls

So, there’s this sci-fi movie that looks like it might make a little money this weekend. And then there’s a kids movie that comes on the heels of Coco… We all know how the weekend is going to shake out, and Disney will get the big paycheck this weekend of course, so let’s focus on the #2-#10 slots.

Official Synopsis: After Ferdinand, a bull with a big heart, is mistaken for a dangerous beast, he is captured and torn from his home. Determined to return to his family, he rallies a misfit team on the ultimate adventure.

CocktailsandMovies.com’s Take: could be tough sledding for Ferdinand so close to the release of Coco and with Jedi and Christmas.

Official Synopsis: Having taken her first steps into the Jedi world, Rey joins Luke Skywalker on an adventure with Leia, Finn and Poe that unlocks mysteries of the Force and secrets of the past.

CocktailsandMovies.com’s Take: Could be big. Maybe. How big? $250M? $300?M

Duwayne’s Pick: Star Wars: The Last Jedi! I am a huge Star Wars fan and have been waiting for this since Episode VII ended. This movie looks so much better and more importantly darker than Episode VII. It will be more Jedi-focused now that Luke Skywalker is an actual part of the film. I can’t wait!

Tim’s Pick: The Last Jedi. We had it down as an event day on Sunday, but it looks like little old me will be taking in the movie by himself.
